Unstoppable Publication

The successor to the World Wide Web

What is MIX?

MIX Blockchain is a smart contract platform for decentralized content. It is fully public. It cannot be censored and no one can be prevented from participating. It is fully programmable at every level. It is a protocol for interconnected content apps that empower the individual.

Uncontrolled

No one can be prevented from publishing.

Linked Data

All published content is machine readable providing flexible presentation and analysis.

Extensible content type system

New content types can be created that are backwards compatible.

No filter bubble lock-in

New smart contracts can be written to create new filter bubbles for existing content.

Separate Blockchain

MIX runs on its own clone of Ethereum, allowing the community to hard fork if necessary.

Open Source

Technology

Network

Tools

Crowdfund

MIX has a built-in 2000 day bootstrap mechanism to fund the project. Five years worth of mining is pre-allocated into a smart contract that gradually releases it over the 2000 days at an ever slowing rate.
